The feral cat that crouches in the bushes by my triple bird feeder waiting to pounce on hungry and unsuspecting visitors is back. Got to set those sights on the pellet pistol. Either that or get the bird to eat only pigeons, the avian version of pigs that fly.
So what’s new. Make no mistake. We have new standards.
“There are no, no tax increases this year. There are no, no tax increases next year.”
Can’t get much more plain than that, can it?
Well, it’s pure, unadulterated bullshit.

President Obama, after an uproar by veterans groups, has scrapped a plan to require private insurance carriers to reimburse the Department of Veterans Affairs for the treatment of troops injured in service.
So, how is Citi doing?

Four days later, the card arrived in the mail. My friend waited a day or two, and then decided to activate the card. He peeled the sticker off the front and called the number printed on it. Instead of getting the automated activation service one usually gets when calling one of these numbers, a real, live human answered the line. She was extremely peppy, and she informed him that he qualified for a super-special Citibank promotion.
OCALA, Fla. — Authorities are trying to figure out who dropped four 55-gallon trash bags filled with marijuana by the side of an Ocala road.
The Marion County Sheriff’s Office reports that inmates working with the county’s solid waste department found the bags on Thursday. Drug agents say the bags weighed a total of nearly 65 pounds.
“There seems to be a market for saying that I am very partisan, and that I don’t give the Republicans their opportunity. That simply is not true,” Pelosi said in an interview with PBS’ Charlie Rose. “They know in this recovery package that we had, we ask them what they wanted.”
A friend recently decided to buy a new pistol for personal protection, upgrading from his present caliber. He has a 32 caliber semiautomatic and is going to get a larger caliber and asked what I thought about a gun selection for concealed carry. After I sent my response I thought maybe it might be helpful for someone else, so I’m posting it here, edited and with added content. And for sure, I’m no expert; these are just my personal thoughts on the matter.

All the components had finally arrived and I’d loaded a suitable number of cases with Pinnacle.
To begin the project I got a few rounds of Winchester Black Powder Blank Cartridges from a Starter I know and a couple of Remingtons from another. There were two types of cases
One type had a star shaped crimp closing the end, making the case unusable for reloading. So much for that idea. The intent is to reload and save money.
Just a couple of months ago I joined a forum that I’d been reading in an effort to learn more as I entered the world of reloading, or hand loading. My interest was and is a matter of making ammunition cheaper than I can buy it. At the cost of ammunition and its rate of rise, I figured in another year I wouldn’t be able to afford to go to the range for practice and target shooting. For me firearms are a matter of enjoyment as well as personal defense.
